17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run goes back to last December but he's dropped down the weights and his recent narrow defeat against a smart rival at York (5f, soft; has won at about 6f and on good) was a cracking effort; back up 3lb on course debut but he should be very competitive. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to score this term but he's hinted he can put that right, his latest fourth at Beverley (5f, soft) being another such example; return to 6f is no bother and he won't mind how the ground is riding; career-low mark. |

4th 11 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
A fairly useful 5f winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season though, third of four in 5f Nottingham handicap last month; more is needed despite a tumbling mark. |

York win last summer came off 15lb higher, which shows how things have gone in the meantime; can miss the break (including in first-time headgear latest; now removed) but this race is easier than he's used to; career-low mark. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner who scored at Southwell (5f, AW) in April but he's not matched that form since and was out the back at Newcastle last month; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs to turn things around. |
20/1 |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Four of his nine wins have been over C&D but he's not easy to predict and was well held here last time; now 2lb lower than for his win at Southwell in April but he comes with risks attached. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a losing sequence on just his second start for current yard in 5f Newmarket handicap last month; outing best ignored (suffered poor run) when sixth of nine at Goodwood since; can't be discounted. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Well suited by 5f on quick ground; two runs for new stable, finishing third at Sandown last month before winning at Newmarket three weeks ago; 3lb rise still leaves him feasibly weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
6yo who is well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Michael Bell and made quite an encouraging start for his new yard when third of seven at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, particularly as he was tight for room against the rail; given a chance to build on that with Billy Loughnane taking the reins this time. |

Back in fine form with 5f handicap wins at Pontefract and Thirsk (raced alone) recently; not disgraced when eighth of 16 in 5f handicap at Doncaster 13 days ago; needs considering eased 1lb. |
11/1 |

8th 13 (6) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Fell to career-low mark before winning at Pontefract in June and Thirsk (also 5f, good) in August; latter was best form since April 2024 and he's gone back up another 6lb, but this hat-trick seeker demands some respect. |
11/1 |

Gained sole handicap success in Class 5 in May and achieved his subsequent placed form in Class 4; came up short in Class 3 last time and can be opposed kept to this grade. |

10th 11 (2) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in May saw him end a losing run and he's been competitive again on last two outings when short-headed at Newcastle (5f, AW) and close up on heavy ground at Haydock; a bit more is needed, though. |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Third at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and now 2lb lower; merely seventh on both runs since and, while she raced away from the main action for the first part of the race at Doncaster (5f, good) last time, others arrive with more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

7th 1 (3) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
She has struggled in two of her three runs for Karl Burke but they were in Listed company and she ran well in a 6f handicap at Ascot in between; she has a bit more to prove over this trip though. |
12/1 |

23rd May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
3l second to Nighteyes in Listed race at Naas (6f, yielding) last July and creditable third in Ascot handicap (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago on second stable start; has raced only eight times and it's possible she has more to offer for her top northern trainer, but such improvement is needed. |

9st 12lb |
Winless since June 2024 but he resumed from a 12-week break with a good third of ten in 5f handicap at Doncaster 13 days ago; this veteran must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
8yo who wasn't beaten far in seventh of nine at Pontefract (5f, good) in June, following a break; back from another 84 days off today but he has some good course form and is not ruled out off a handy mark. |

9st 7lb |
Two heavy-ground wins in 2023 and this 11yo reappeared with a win in a big-field handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) this March, when 1lb higher; however, he's performed below that level on his three outings since. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |

40-1 winner of a big-field C&D handicap (good to soft) in March on reappearance; the return to Doncaster may be a positive but this 11yo has been well beaten on both starts since and needs to turn things around. |
16/1 |
|
10th 8 (2) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage now but he showed he's still got some ammunition left when a 40-1 winner of 17-runner Doncaster handicap (5f, good to soft) on his March reappearance; only eighth of 11 at Carlisle on his sole subsequent start, however, and he'll need to prove that win wasn't his last hurrah. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins this year, latest at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May off 2lb lower than today; among the backmarkers on his last three outings, trying cheekpieces on first occasion and a hood on latest (joining the usual tongue-tie); does without either tonight but he's too inconsistent for comfort. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 4 |

Two wins this year, the latest from 2lb lower at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May; should get a good pace to aim at, but he needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser performances; hood now added. |

4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner of much higher marks in the summer of 2022 including this race; 1-23 since, though, and tardy starts have become a habit (blindfold off late the last twice); 5lb below last winning mark so certainly well handicapped, but risky. |

11th 13 (12) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

This mark in range but he hasn't found his best form so far this year (had blindfold issues behind Castan latest); this looks a tough race in which to bounce back. |

Beaten just a nose at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March and close fifth of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; might not be far away if he's on a going day but he's been up and down this season and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (5f, good) last time. |
